Chapter 550: The Sovereign of the Oceans, the Dragon of Time (II)

After evaluating its subordinates' progress, the Heavenly Dragon turned to the swirling ocean waters and roared deeply.

Horn Hime, how was your operation?

The orca let out a series of respectful squeaks.

King, we had a bountiful harvest this time.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The orca opened its mouth, spitting out a massive white, mutated fish encased in a bubble of energy. The power of its domain made the bubble float to the clearing from the whirlpool's center.

Splash!

When the bubble burst, seawater poured out and revealed a pile of glittering Life Crystals strewn densely across the ground.

Over the past two weeks, Horn Hime had led several pods of mutated orcas, hunting down numerous level 2 and 3 creatures, along with a smaller number of level 4 and level 5 peak-level mutated beasts.

However, within the Dragon Palace's vast territory, most high-level mutated beasts of similar strength had already been slain, leaving only weaker, low-level prey behind.

The Heavenly Dragon scanned the pile of crystals with its spiritual consciousness, nodding in satisfaction.

This time, they gathered over four thousand low-level crystals—enough to convert into more than sixty thousand attribute points.

Not bad.

Ignoring the Silver Colossal Dragon’s longing gaze, the Heavenly Dragon exhaled a hot breath, evaporating the surrounding seawater before storing the crystals in its reverse-scale space.

Horn Hime chirped respectfully once more.

King, during your slumber, Hu San infiltrated World Passage Four. It’s known as the Red Dragon Empire.

According to its findings, the empire is ruled by a mythical colossal beast, and a quasi-mythical beast is stationed at the passage...

After listening to the report, the Heavenly Dragon glanced at the Single-Horned Kun with a peculiar expression.

Perplexed, the Single-Horned Kun asked,

Thunder Fiery, why are you looking at me like that?

The Thunder Fiery Heavenly Dragon shook its head slightly.

Nothing.

It simply found it odd.

How did the simple-minded Single-Horned Kun produce such cunning offspring? That young orca is remarkably adept at scheming.

Although intelligence reports were of little consequence to the Heavenly Dragon at its current power, they gave the clever young orca an approving look.

A mutated colossal beast with such high intelligence was rare and worth nurturing carefully.

Boom!

The Heavenly Dragon unleashed its terrifying aura, and roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

All beasts, follow me! Today, we shall unite the seas!

Boom!

With another deafening roar, the Heavenly Dragon soared into the sky. The sky darkened, fierce winds howled, and rolling clouds formed a massive storm vortex spanning dozens of kilometers.

Unite the seas! The great Saixitia shall become the ocean’s supreme ruler!

Beneath the turbulent skies, the Silver Colossal Dragon flew in excited loops, roaring with exhilaration.

Finally! The day has come! I have waited so long for this... wait, how long has it been? Only five or six day-cycles?

Haha! Saixitia truly is a genius! In mere days, I shall rule the seas and dominate the world!

As Saixitia spiraled through the skies in excitement, a surge of enormous beasts erupted from the vortex passage below.

Among them were Ghidorah, who was wreathed in crimson flames; the Single-Horned Kun, who had massive fins that resembled wings and a gleaming blue horn atop its head; and Zhulong, a scarlet, serpentine beast over three hundred meters long.

Huh?

The Silver Colossal Dragon noticed the red beast ascending with a silent but terrifying aura.

Zhulong! When did you wake up?

Suspended in mid-air, Zhulong turned its long, elegant form toward Saixitia. Its eyes seemed distant, seemingly seeing from another time.

A ferocious dragon's head emerged from the roiling storm clouds above.

Zhulong just awoke. Ignore it—it’s still immersed in temporal law energies.

The Heavenly Dragon's spiritual consciousness swept over the crimson beast, detecting an enveloping layer of potent yet enigmatic time manipulation.

Though Zhulong had broken through to a quasi-mythical level and begun touching the laws of time, its chronic "offline" state persisted.

All beasts, follow me! Today, we conquer the seas!

A storm of unparalleled ferocity erupted around it, stretching for hundreds of kilometers as thunderclouds boiled and lightning raged.

This time, Baxia will take on twenty!

The Dragon Turtle roared as it smashed through towering waves, its mountainous form trembling with excitement.

The airborne beasts answered with eager roars.

Ghidorah, unstoppable—I’ll handle thirty!

The Dragon Turtle replied,

Keep dreaming! You don’t even have that many heads!

The Silver Colossal Dragon circled below the clouds, bellowing triumphantly.

The great Saixitia shall turn the seas crimson with their blood!

Below, the Blue Giant Crab snapped its enormous pincers in fervor.

General Crab will crush them all—this time, eight at once!

Beneath the turbulent waves, the female orca led her pod silently, her black form blending into the dark sea. Her two younger kin, Hu Yi and Hu Er, leaped joyously above the surface.

Kill!

Brothers, follow Uncle into glory—we feast for three days straight!

Dozens of mutant orcas, ranging from level 4 to level 6, joined in exhilaration, awed by the unprecedented scale of the mobilization.

The ocean churned violently as the Dragon Palace’s full force surged forward.

Meanwhile, energy detection satellites issued blaring alarms.

"Report! Intense mythical-level beast activity detected in Passage Three. One quasi-mythical entity and four level 9s among them!"

"Report! The Dragon Palace faction is advancing rapidly toward Passage Four."

"What are they planning?"

"Unify the seas?"

"What good would that do?"

"After reaching mythical-level, these beasts need to enter the mythical world to grow stronger. Staying where they are would be a waste."

"Keep monitoring closely."

"Understood."

Before the military’s watchful gaze, a storm of thunderclouds swept through the deep sea, reaching the border of the Red Dragon Empire.

Towering waves crashed as two dozen colossal beasts, ranging from level 7 to level 8, stared in dread at the encroaching tempest.

The overwhelming mythical aura left them paralyzed with terror.

Sobs. Chief, we must retreat! The Dragon Palace beasts are coming!

What are you afraid of? It’s just the Dragon Palace! As warriors of the Red Dragon Empire, we fear no enemy!

The other beasts exchanged looks of disbelief, their eyes betraying thoughts of disdain for the reckless orca.

Hadn’t it learned from their defeat against the Dragon Palace’s patrol forces just days ago? Moreover, this time, a mythical-level beast was leading the charge!

The pressure alone had already rendered them immobile.

The colossal beasts finally caught sight of the approaching horde—giant figures looming amid the storm and vague, horrifying silhouettes hidden within the thunderclouds.

Suddenly, the black orca let out a jubilant cry.

Uncle, you’ve finally arrived!
